[W126 Coupe] shipping of wheels

[Axel Wulff]

I tried to get a quote from DHL for pickup of wheels I bought in Germany.

I thought they would be fairly well set-up in Germany, their owner being 
Deutsche Post and all.

They were useless. Sort of: "What? You want us to pick up something in 
Germany and ship it to the US? Where are you? Where do we pick it up? You 
have to call our local office in Germany! What is their phone number? I 
don't know, you'll have to find out yourself."

Ahhhhh, German customer service - Reminds me why I don't live there anymore.
